My "old" X10 presented some weird issues with 720p recording and GPS navigation, both rebooting the phone after a few minutes plus the device getting very hot.
At first I thought it was because of some custom ROMs and custom kernels with OC, but I reached the conclusion it was a hardware issue since I flashed back the stock ROM and the issues continued.
Anyways.... today they called me and gave me a brand new arc!!!
I'm kind excited but in the mean time I bought an Atrix and I think I'll sell the arc but not without play with it for a while
That's fairly lucky. I used to work in SE contact centre(in the days of the K750) in the UK and we had to push like crazy to get customers new handsets let alone an upgrade!
Yeah, it wasn't easy at all. I had to submit it 3x and wait more than 30 days each. Was happy if they gave me a new X10. I was almost giving up and suing them according to the BR laws then today I received the unexpected call

Hint: If your phone got sent to SE factory like mine did, call there and ask for a new one. Insist and be patient, that's the key
how much are you asking for the arc

Sent with stock original firmware, always. I don't think root is an issue, but custom roms are.
Actually once I forgot to switch back from a custom ROM and the guys on Technical Assistance were really nice and informally refused without registering anything about it. I went home, reflashed original firmware and sent it back like it never happened
More than one person told me that SE had a lot of problematic X10s and if you insist on replace the device, they will probably will give you something new too.
ill buy the arc.

Root or modified firmware will void the warranty and they can see if it's been done really easy in EMMA now.
EMMA will show that modified software has been detected and tell the operator to deal with it as OUT-OF-WARRANTY.
So if you're still under warranty flash it back to stock before you send it in.
So, I just need to destroy my X10 so I can send it back
lucky man
Thats pretty sweet, ive had to return phones to SE before (or an "authorised repairer" in my country, which is 600km's away, at my cost(?!?!)) and all i ever get is the same phone back with the particular part replaced. (which in one case failed again just AFTER the original warranty and repair warranty ran out)
Must be an X10 problem they cant just "fix" for you.
I would drop the atrix and keep the arc, the screen on the atrix is just a bit dodge for my liking, otherwise a great phone with some great standout features, but i'll bet the bravia powered display on that arc is brilliant!
All of you are unlucky lol, maybe it's an error on motherboard. My phone run very smooth, watch 720p, HD game but no rebooting lol
I have found a i9000. I have tried to find the owner but cant as it has a pettern lock. I took it to the copshop and they gave me it back a fortnight later as no one went to claim it. As i would like to use the phone how would i remove the pattern lock. Without having to sit for days tryin to guess lol

Take it to an outlet for whatever the network it is connected to. It will say at top right of lock screen and on the sim of course.
It has no sim card so i couldnt tell which network it is on. It is unlocked because its open to any sim. Iv tried different sims and they show the provider in the corner

just root the phone/update firmware on it, which should allow you to factory reset it.
factory reset, through recovery will get rid of the lock pattern.
edit: I believe you don't need to flash anything. Power on device holding the Volume Up + Home + Power button
Thanks guys ill give it a try

Not so sure about that. If it is reported lost or stolen then the IMEI will be blocked and all that it will be useful for is a MP3 player. Hence my advice to go to a network shop. Any one will help and check the phone is not blocked.

you're right. that's why this is the right place, because of advices like yours
I feel sorry for the owner that lost the phone, and did not report the IMEI as being lost or stolen...
that'll be my very 2nd phone call if i lose my phone
the 1st phone call will be used to located the lost phone
Flash a new ROM But you can give it a factory reset (hold VOL UP + HOME + POWER buttons for a few seconds)

I would find a SGS too
it's weird how many people "Find" SGS lately...
Honestly, on an etiquette POV, I wouldn't help anyone who "found" an SGS to unlock it... But rather help him find the owner.
thats what i was thinking...glad its not mine
I have spent nearly three weeks trying to find the owner. i handed it in to the police station but got it back two weeks later because it didnt get claimed. Which you would know if you read the earlier posts in the thread. If i lost my phone i would check the police to see if it had been handed in like most ppl who are bothered bout there phone. What does that tell you?

Hello
I have posted something similar in the thread where you told us not to unlock the bootloader if your phone is highier than 11W29. But unfortunately I didnt read that thread and I have now a dead phone and my phone´s date is 11W46 (I know I messed up big time here). So my question is: Can I do anything now? Should I look for help with ppl that have the JTAG/RIFF box to resurrect my dead phone or just go to the shop and ask for a new one?
The problem is that I am not sure if my warranty is lost this way and if they will give me a refund...
Please give me back the hope of brining my phone to life again :´´(
If you have tried to unlock the bootloader you have rooted your phone. If you have rooted it you have broken the warranty so im sorry about that.

Go to shop and say that phone was dead at normal use! If in repair center will find that you brick phone by yourself you will pay some money. I was bricked my daughters phone (11W35) and take it to nearest mobile phone workshop (not SE warranty), phone was be repaired in 1 day and that was cost 15 Euros.

there isnt a way to find out if the phone is rooted as long as it doesnt open and there isnt a way to open it(they will change the motherboard or replace your phone), so it doesnt matter
@stamatis16
Great news for me . Thank you for sharing that. I could go to the shop then and just tell em the phone died. Thank you guys a lot for the optimism I ll do my best to bring it to life again
Just take it to the shop and say that you put your phone to charge and since than it cant start

Hello again...
after 3 -4 weeks I finally got a call from the shop and they told me that the phone is ready to be taken. So I did. Never had to pay for anything .. they just told me the mother board was switched. Such great news.

I am thinking of putting the GingerDX ROM on my phone .. Why shouldnt I do it ? Are there any problems I should know about it? Anything to tell me?

Human always smarter than machine. Samsung got a disadvantage which is included built in recovery. He can just simply boot in and factory reset everything. Or just remove all accounts that in your s4. Let's pray for the stealer is stupid.

You will be lucky if the thief has not factory reset the phone. Especially if you set pin to unlock, he will surely factory reset the phone.

Yes I this there is a notification telling that device "is found" ... but you can't prevent anybody from flashing a new firmware.
On your box there should be an IMEI number (or on your receipt) and IMEI is a bit more difficult to change so maybe you have a chance to trace it in some other way.
What about plan b from the play store?

You can set sim change alerts in the standard s4 settings aswell. I only found out the other day and it can be set to text a friend or family member.
Hope you manage yo yrack and get the phone back, too many low lifes in the world needing to steal someone elses hard earned money/phone etc. Is there no way of having the imei blacklisted? Keep that as a last resort if it can be done, as far as I know soon as its blacklisted you wont be able to track it at all

first of all, he stole it from my bag.
second of all, if he flashes a new firmware or disconnect from my samsung account ( or even a factory reset )
can i know it? or it will just stay offline for ever?

If he just reset (factory reset), wipe data or flash a new firmware, IMEI may survive.
So IMEI tracking is your last chance.
I don't know this company http://www.trackimei.com/ but maybe worth a try?

It didnt drop it or do anything with the screen.
The phone is rooted and has been flashed with custom rom.
Is there any way to flash stock firmware in order to unroot?
Or the warranty will be valid, due to hardware fault only?
I have some non backuped photos that i dont want to lose.
What should i do?

If you can reach download mode then you can flash stock kdz firmware....
But if you can't turn on the phone, probably you need another motherboard...
I had the same problem about 3 weeks ago...
I've send it for reparation and got it 2 weeks later with stock v30n MM rom installed...
Unfortunately i lost all my data.....

Look...
my screen is burnt and it isnt a software issue.
i contacted LG and said that in order to change the screen they have to change the motherboard too. Thats why i will lose all my data.
So im asking here, if there is a way to back up ot transfer my files from my lg to the pc through download mode so that when they fix my device i can put all the photos in there again.
If your screen is burnt they don't need to change the motherboard as well, so what they're essentially saying is they'll do what apple does and instead of fixing the phone they'll give you a replacement (at a cost to you).
The choice you need to make is whether to keep your warranty or your photos. If you want the warranty go down that route with LG.
If you want your photos replace the screen yourself or have someone do it for you. I run a phone repair business and can tell you the cost price of the g3 screens hovers between £25-40 depending on how many you buy and where from, so if you go to a shop expect to shell out around the equivalent of £50-60 in your currency. LG will, more than likely, charge you more.
That been said if its more than the screen and if your motherboard has decided to give up the ghost then you'd be cheaper and better off just buying another phone, unless you can somehow use that as a ticket to get LG to replace it for free given most motherboard failures have nothing to do with the user at fault.
If your mobo is dead they won't be able to detect root so don't worry about that.

If your screen is burnt they don't need to change the motherboard as well, so what they're essentially saying is they'll do what apple does and instead of fixing the phone they'll give you a replacement (at a cost to you).
The choice you need to make is whether to keep your warranty or your photos. If you want the warranty go down that route with LG.
If you want your photos replace the screen yourself or have someone do it for you. I run a phone repair business and can tell you the cost price of the g3 screens hovers between £25-40 depending on how many you buy and where from, so if you go to a shop expect to shell out around the equivalent of £50-60 in your currency. LG will, more than likely, charge you more.
That been said if its more than the screen and if your motherboard has decided to give up the ghost then you'd be cheaper and better off just buying another phone, unless you can somehow use that as a ticket to get LG to replace it for free given most motherboard failures have nothing to do with the user at fault.

Look...
my screen is burnt and it isnt a software issue.
i contacted LG and said that in order to change the screen they have to change the motherboard too. Thats why i will lose all my data.
So im asking here, if there is a way to back up ot transfer my files from my lg to the pc through download mode so that when they fix my device i can put all the photos in there again.
